Our Old VA Home

Hi friends,My husband, Steve, and I married back in 2005. We purchased this sweet brick cape cod house in Annandale, Virginia then quickly set about making it our own with painting and renovations (big and small). Luckily, we found out that we have very similar taste and love talking design/decorating plans together. Steve and his dad did a majority of the work themselves:

What we did to the front of the house:

Added the black shutters

Painted the front door blue (used to be red which was fun too)

Added new mailbox

Took down rotted wood structure around planting area and put in stacked stone pavers

Replaced soffits

What we did to the back of the house:

Added a new larger deck

Added French doors off of dining room onto deck

Added landscaping around the brick patio

Added several trees and plants

Added rock pit for fire pit

Replaced chain link fence with tall wooden privacy fence

What we did to the kitchen:

Completely gutted it closing off two doorways (one to deck and one to basement)

Thanks for checking out our Virginia home. We had many fond memories living there over 5 years. Now we're having fun making our North Carolina home our own. You can check out our progress under my tab 'Tour My Home'. It's always changing.Take care friends,Meganmegan@cottagebluedesigns.com
